Oh, you don't know -- well that's understandable. Basically, a lot of years back some older skilled warriors decided that they should get some of the non-fighters up to snuff using the Barracks, at the time. Daily lessons, pairing up the unskilled with the skilled and recruiting people who were willing to take students. It's sort of fallen by the wayside and then been revived again a number of times, mostly due to the fact the teachers kept going home. The idea was to make anyone who was willing to try in Luceti proficient with at least being able to pick up a shinai [ Or any other weapon, really ] and fend off a cultist footman long enough for someone else to show up.
